"With the new website and forums, we have modernized Fighter Ace and are ready for the next chapter in the game's history. We have several exciting announcements coming in the next few months starting with our new support for Linux", said Mark Vange, President of Ketsujin Studios. "As always, the Fighter Ace Volunteer Group is standing by to welcome and support new and returning players," adds Jay Gardner, the head of the Fighter Ace Volunteer Group.

Fighter Ace is a massively-multiplayer online flight combat game in which hundreds of players fight each other in authentic World War II era combat planes for control of the skies. Players capture enemy territory and installations using a variety of fighter, bomber and transport planes, while enemy shipping is fair game for torpedo and bomb laden attackers. Players battle daily in the open arenas while weekly special events allow both individual players and squads to compete for glory and renown.

Fighter Ace features over a hundred meticulously modeled World War II aircraft from each of the five major combatants of the war. Over twenty detailed maps allow players to do battle with each other over terrain ranging from the pyramids and desert sands of Egypt to the windswept snowdrifts and icy fjords of Murmansk to the steaming jungles and shark-infested waters of the Solomon Islands. Every aspect of air combat is included, from screaming attacks in a Stuka dive-bomber to fearless torpedo runs in an Avenger and high-altitude bombing missions in a Flying Fortress.

An active and vibrant community interacts on Ketsujin's dedicated newsgroup servers and the Fighter Ace website (http://fighterace.ketsujin.com) includes information about the many aircraft, battlegrounds and events featured in the game. Fighter Ace includes full support for player organized squadrons and free-lancing single pilots alike. Whether in a squad or independently, everyone can join the fun.

Fighter Ace can be enjoyed for the low price of only $14.95 USD per month and Linux users can take advantage of a one-month free trial with no obligation. For more information about Fighter Ace visit http://fighterace.ketsujin.com.
